This results in expensive labor, and a very limited output. After the seams are finished, the buttons on, the fancy braid and facings in place, and the final trimmings stitched where they belong, the profit is small. All this can be done much cheaper in Europe, and were it not for the protection of a high tariff, Uncle Adolph says, Americans would buy all such goods abroad.
Then came the Dauphin, the Duke of Orleans, the Duke of Bourbon, the King. The vestments of the monarch, of a silver stuff, were covered by a mantle of the order in black velvet, lined with green silk stitched with gold.

"Even so, you wouldn't forbid my doing it, would you?" "I wish I had the right to. I've come here this afternoon to ask you again if you won't give it to me." For a few minutes she stitched in silence. When she spoke it was without stopping her work or lifting her head. "I'm sorry that you should raise that question again. I thought it was settled."
"Rose is a sweet little thing," Lydia said, when the sisters were walking home again. "I'm sorry she can't come to-night; she has a way of making things GO." Martie did not answer.

"There are exactly six pieces in that house that will prevent my being honest so long as they are not mine.
A doctor was summoned and stitched the wound. He gave an encouraging report, and was not too inquisitive as to how the injury had occurred. Foreign visitors get extraordinary things in the regions of Monte Carlo, and medical men lose nothing by their discretion.

It is of a light yellow colour, beautifully stitched and embroidered; and the cape, for it has a short cape, is fringed by tags cut out of the leather itself.
